Guest Article - How to Maintain Emotional Wellness as a Single Parent

It’s hard enough for married couples to maintain emotional wellness and have children. You can imagine how much more difficult it must be for a single parent. As a single parent, you have to make many important decisions on your own, as well as nurture children to make sure they have the best childhood possible and develop into well-rounded human beings. As a parent, it’s easy to forget that taking care of yourself and your own emotional health is a vital element to caring for your children and maintaining your life.

Woefully Behind Again

I have a few more product reviews to get written up, and then I think that I will be caught up for the time being.  I'm going to try to get them done tomorrow.  There is no severe storms to knock out the electricity and it's been too hot to do much outside.  Anyway, serves me right for taking on so many.  I think I had at least ten going at once.

Aside from stuff on here, I've got several book covers lined up.  I'm also in the process of registering for Operation Photo Rescue.  Basically I wold be volunteering my free time to digitally restore photographs damaged in natural disasters.  It's a neat project and I'm happy to donate my time and skills to help out people.

Grammarics Review & Giveaway

Last week, I was asked to check out Grammarics’ Pictorial Guide to Commons Errors in English Usage (Volume 1).  Grammarics covers all the common mistakes that people make with commas, spelling, word usage, and more.

Over the past couple of years, I’ve noticed that I’m picking up on grammar issues when I’m reading stuff more than I ever had in the past.  I don’t always catch it in my own writings, mostly since I tend to crank stuff out pretty quick…but I do notice it when I’m reading books.  It’s gotten to the point that I have to keep myself from getting a pencil to mark mistakes or highlight sections on my Kindle.  I’m going to assume that they just aren’t teaching the same stuff in English classes that learned when I was a kid.  I’ve seen proof of then when helping my younger sister-in-law with homework.  So, I was eager to look through this to see if would be of great use to her.  I wasn’t disappointed.

The book is broken down into chapters, each covering a different issue.  Each section is one page and the issues are presented in pictorial format with one image showing the wrong way & the other showing the correct way.  The pictures are cute and very easy to understand no matter the age of the person using them.  Several of them made me laugh.  This is a great book for parents and teachers to have.  They also have full sized posters (that you print yourself) of many of the images with the rules printed on them.  Again, they are great for parents & teachers.

Overall, I love the book and think it is a must have for anyone with children.  Even older teens and college students can use it.  It’s also a great resource for teachers.  The ebook sells for $9.99, and the posters can be bought individually for $2.99 or in a pack for $19.99.  For more information and to buy a copy for yourself, you can visit the Grammarics website.

I received the above mentions book for free to help facilitate my review.  Also, I will receive commissions off any sales generated.

Grammarics wants to give 6 lucky readers a copy of the book.  To enter, tell me what you think about the book in a blog post comment below.  Once you do that, you can complete the extra entries on the Rafflecopter form.  The giveaway is open Worldwide and ends June 9th @ midnight CST.

Last Year’s Clothing
Get out last year’s summer gear and see if any of the younger kids have grown into older kids’ castoffs. This way you won’t have to spend a ton of money on tank tops, shorts, etc.
